CSXT 2314 |
| Description: |
CSX O925, which is a Central Phosphate to Port of Tampa shifter carrying Anhydrous Ammonia and Phosphate has an lot more units today than it usually does as it negotiates the curve at Plant City. Typically the train has the same power all the time, CSXT 6900 (GP40-2) and CSXT 2316 (Road Slug), but today it is joined by GP39-2s 4300, 4301 and 4308. The crew dropped the GP39-2s off at the "enginehouse lead" before continuing on to Hookers Point. |

| Title: |
CSXT 4301 |
| Description: |
Y250, the Yeoman Yard to old Port Tampa local with GP39-2 CSXT 4301 as the sole power is about to cross over the Hillsborough River on the bascule bridge built by the ACL in 1915. The bridgetender is showing the "green flag" which means the bridge is down and lined and locked for movement. Another bridgetender stands in the door to the tenders house. This bridge once saw dozens of movements a day but now sees just 1 movement a day and is only manned as necessary. The signal in the distance is not a railroad signal, it is a traffic light, as the line to Port Tampa goes right through downtown Tampa and there is a short stretch of street running involved. |
